Next Generation Solar Wing Design

EF 2023-24 · 2023-05-01

Résumé
Development of a next-generation solar wing for a 24.9 kg fixed-wing RPAS to achieve multi-day endurance. The project focuses on the structural integration of PV cells directly into the composite wing during construction. This method increases the total solar array surface area by 50% compared to a post-installed method for the same airfoil. These improvements significantly increase the capability of Superwake's SW117 RPAS.

Description (French)
Développement d’une aile solaire de nouvelle génération pour un avion à voilure fixe de 24,9 kg afin d’obtenir une autonomie de plusieurs jours. Le projet se concentre sur l’intégration structurelle de cellules photovoltaïques directement dans l’aile composite pendant la construction. Cette méthode permet d’augmenter la surface totale du champ solaire de 50 % par rapport à une méthode post-installation pour le même profil d’aile. Ces améliorations augmentent considérablement la capacité du SW117 RPAS de Superwake.
